Homeland
Does anyone else who watches this know what kind of music Carrie Matheson listens to? I know it's jazz, but more specifically -- it's early enough (last century early, not early early) that's it's still recognizably 12 tone and not completely scat or avant-garde, but it's late enough that it doesn't feel obliged to stay within traditional melody/harmony/structure etc. It's not as sparse or abstract as, say, Bitches Brew, so I think it's little earlier than that.
She probably listens to a lot of jazz, but the type I am trying to describe is what I have been finding myself craving, and I'm having trouble finding examples. Need to find some harmolodics, because on paper, that sounds like what I'm looking for.
Also: The Killing -- I don't know why they call this the killing, but at least they used the singular -- there's only one (well...that we care about). It should be called "Red Herrings". No, I'm kidding, I actually really like this show. The writer is impeccable -- captures the individual, the interpersonal, the social, and the political, and how they all affect each other.
